Wrestling Chatter

Hi guys, Well, we've just come to the end of not only the first ever 2-day Wrestlemania but also the first ever no-vacancy Wrestlemania and who would I be if I didn't do a review of both of the shows over the weekend? I didn't know whether to do this as a post or podcast but I'll probably do a brief overview in this post and then a more in-depth podcast about it all! Saturday Night  The first night of Wrestlemania started off with great promise. The Kabuki Warriors v Alexa Bliss/ Nikki Cross for the women's tag titles was a great way to start the show and was proof that you can have amazing matches without a massive crowd. As always, Asuka thrived in that environment and was able to really show off her personality as a proper heel with Kairi Sane which was the perfect antidote to their babyface opponents. The match combined technical, high flying and the chaos we all expected which was amazing despite the fact that the Kabuki Warriors lost.  ...

Hey guys, With the run up to Wrestlemania, we've just had our last PPV before the grandest stage of them all *count how many times that's said from now until WM*. The card has been set for Raw and last night Smackdown solidified their path to New Orleans. The card was an odd bunch, from Becky & Naomi v Natalya and Carmella (which really had no lead up) to a bloody 6-pack challenge for the Championship (I mean it's one way to make sure most of the roster have a match). I had some reservations about last night but thank you WWE for not messing it up and having a pretty awesome PPV: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Rusev Another match with no real heat or long term lead up, however, Rusev Day v Nakamura Day is not something I am against. Two great workers who are extremely over with the crowd, it was always going to get the crowd hyped, especially on Rusev Day. I actually really enjoyed this match even though some people might have thought it was an obvious outcome and ma...

Hi guys, Apart from a few little off-ish bits, I actually really enjoyed Smackdown's Clash of Champions. There were some shock results (okay only one but it was the happiest shock ever for me), well deserved results and massive controversial results. So, on that note, here are my reactions from each of the matches last night! NB: There will be spoilers so don't read if you haven't watched it and don't want to know the results! US Championship Match - Ziggler def Corbin (Champ) and Roode This was the biggest and happiest surprise for me because I started the match worrying that Ziggler (who is one of my top wrestlers) was going to be nothing but a buffer but I was luckily wrong. As well as being a good moment for Zig-man, who finally got a win, it was also one of Corbin's best matches he's had since coming to the main roster. He plated the heel role perfectly with his taunts and good strong and brutal moves that showed his strength. I can't forg...

Hey guys, After the success of Saturday night's NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, I knew that no matter how hard the main roster tried, they would never be able to reach the standard of NXT. The show produced high quality in all matches put on from the well deserved win for Drew McIntyre, the balls of Nikki Cross, the 100/100 women's championship match AND Adam Cole debut, it seems as if NXT can do now wrong. If I could, I would've reacted to that but it all seemed too good to even criticise! It was time to see if the main roster could stand up against NXT for one of the biggest PPV of the year! The Hardy Boyz and Jason Jordan v The Miz and Miztourage As much as I am upset that the IC title isn't being defended, I have to be grateful that The Miz (one of my favourites) even has a match. This was a good match, not a main card match but a very good match nevertheless. I didn't doubt that it would've been with legends like The Hardy's and The Miz - it ...
